Community mailboxes are going up everywhere. Does this guy think he is exempt. It’s not like the box is going on his property and people have to go through his gate to pick up the mail. I wonder if this guy is related to the man from Quebec who complained that the neighborhood Hockey rink caused him " Visual Harm ". What a crock.. That rink served the whole neighborhood young and old alike. This mailbox guy is causing himself undue stress. The community mailboxes are here to stay.

HEY !!! good on him &gt; car doors opening and closing – music playing – people talking- dogs peein and poopin..loud exhausts, squealing tires, litter, garbage, people gauking at you, neighbours having conversations, thieves standing on the boxes looking in your yard.. fumes from vehicles…etc.. etc.. It only happens 6 ft. from your fence… vandalizing of your property – more more more…. If I wuz him I’d buy a 4×4 with a big bumper and knock them over..again and again… (EVIL)

I think he’s thinking about the common law concept of adverse possession. It’s a common idea, a lot of people think they own right up to the sidewalk, and think that because they’ve acted like they owned it for so long, and no one objected, they can claim some right over it. I don’t know how Quebec deals with adverse possession but I’m certain it doesn’t apply to roads.
I’m less certain this guy truly believes any of the things he’s saying. I think he just wants door to door service.

George, when I owned a country lot in Ontario, a neighboring farmer cut down trees on my property so he could access his farm from the road by driving across my lot. My lawyer informed me that if I let him away with that, after a certain period of time, he could claim he owned my land because he was using it. I had to issue him a lawyer’s letter to protect my ownership under the law.

I don’t want door-to-door nor do I want postal workers checking on my well-being as has been suggested they get paid to do. It’s bad enough this past winter that Canada Post delivered packages to the wrong address and when I complained, told me to make an insurance claim. I contacted CEO Deepak Chopra and the Minister and finally the postal worker got my packages back from the wrong address. I felt it was a scam, quite frankly, an insurance fraud. Then, during the municipal election, the NDP candidate was my postal carrier and he stopped delivering my mail to my box and instead began knocking on my door and soliciting my vote while hanging onto my mail. Not to mention how, last summer, my letter carrier scribbled all over my mail and when I complained, Deepak Chopra said postal workers were upset they might lose their jobs and some took it out on customers. I was supposed to feel sorry for the idiot defacing my mail. I told Deepak Chopra CUPW workers only deface mail of people they consider low-hanging fruit. They’d never deface the mail of Thomas Mulcair or Justin Trudeau.

I find it funny that he is quoted saying "I’ve been cutting the grass here, I consider it to be my property,”….lol, with his way of thinking if I cut the grass in a vacant lot next to mine then I now own that property….lol

I get all my bills over the net and transfer then to my bank for payment. It wasn’t that easy to do but when done 10 years ago I now laugh at such stories. Today all banks have bill payer setups.
Try explaining cranking your car over to start it and the kids mouth drops open. They think I’m a caveman. I can have fun with that. Hunting season and lighting the first BBQ of the year should get some attention. I have too much time on my hand.

We had more than 47 mailboxes in our community box in Calgary and most everyone walked over at their leisure to get their mail or picked it up on their way by if they were going somewhere by vehicle. My question for Mr. Dybka? Are you employed by Canada Post?

A person who does something like that is not likely to be reasoned with so fine him for destruction of public property and for the clean up of the dirt and fence. If he damages the box when it is installed, that is a criminal offense.
